Acquired rubella manifests as a maculopapular rash and mild systemic symptoms including fever and lymphadenopathy. The incubation period for the virus is 14–18 days, and infected individuals may shed virus and are potentially contagious for 1–2 weeks before the onset of classic symptoms. Arthritis and arthralgias occur in approximately 70 % of teenagers and adult females; this complication rarely develops in children and adult males [1]. The most common ocular manifestation is conjunctivitis which is present in 70 % of patients. Other ocular sequelae include epithelial keratitis and retinitis. There has been growing evidence to support a causal association with chronic rubella virus infection and Fuchs heterochromic iridocyclitis. This has been proposed due to the presence of rubella-specific intraocular antibody production in the anterior chamber of patients with Fuchs [6].
